Camden Police department
1910-1949

On this page you will find a list of men who served with the Camden Police Department. The men listed are those who joined the force between April 19, 1910 and January 17, 1949. I do not believe the list includes ALL hires, but rather all those who were still serving in early 1949.

The list was kept by Sergeant William Schultz of the Camden Police Department, who, up until the early 1980s, noted those men who had retired and/or passed away. Links to pages with profiles of former Camden police officers can be found on the Interesting People of Camden NJ page. 

Sergeant Schultz  passed away in October of 1986. 

In September of 2006 I was given a roster of police officers from the mid-1960s, when Keith Kauffman was public safety director and Harold Melleby was Chief of Police. A few of the younger officers who had been on the force in 1949 were still serving when this list was compiled.
